Should my child stay in preschool or enroll in transitional kindergarten (TK)?

It's a question many California families are asking. A recent EdSource article, “Growing pains for transitional kindergarten one year into full expansion” highlights an important reality: while every 4-year-old now has access to TK, experiences can vary significantly depending on the school and program.

The article features Jorge Ramirez, Options for Learning Board Member, Pacific Oaks College early childhood professor, and early childhood education expert. 🌟

Ramirez emphasizes the importance of developmentally appropriate learning experiences for young children. 🌱

For more than 45 years, Options for Learning has helped children build the skills they need for kindergarten and beyond through play-based early education that supports the whole child.

As you explore the best path for your child and family, remember that you have options. ❤️ You can choose a school district’s TK program or an early learning program such as Options for Learning. Quality preschool remains a valuable option for many children.

✅ Interested in learning more about California's TK expansion?

💻✨ Tomorrow!Join the virtual roundtable discussion hosted by EdSource on Sept. 29 at 4pm, featuring Jorge Ramirez and other early learning experts discussing what's working, what's not, and what families should know about TK implementation. Go to EdSource.org to register.

"Is my child ready for kindergarten?"

It's one of the most common questions parents ask. The good news? Readiness is about much more than ABCs and numbers.

💛 Your child doesn't need to know everything before kindergarten. Learning continues long after the first day of school.

🌱 Confidence and independence matter. Skills like following routines, asking for help, and managing emotions help children feel ready for new experiences.

🏡 Readiness can be built through everyday moments. Play, problem-solving, and positive interactions all support healthy development.

In our latest blog, we explore what kindergarten readiness really means and share simple ways to support your child's growth at home.
